Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Strain and toss with butter.

Meanwhile, cook the veggies: In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables soften. Then add garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another minute.

Add the stock and chicken: Add chicken stock and bring soup to a simmer. Stir in shredded chicken and simmer for a few minutes to combine flavors. Taste soup and season with salt and pepper.
